How to hide the Mac OS X Menu Bar on a per-application basis?
Ctrl-click the application icon and choose Show Package Contents.
Open the Contents folder and double-click the Info.plist file to edit
the file with Property List Editor.
Add a child of the Root Dictionary Class.
Name it LSUIPresentationMode with data type Number. (LSUI stands for
Launch Services User Interface.)
Set the Value to 4. All suppressed mode. In this mode, all UI elements
are hidden, including the menu bar. UI elements may show themselves
automatically in response to mouse movements or other user activity.
Some applications don't respect this properly. Don't try this with
Safari or Camino or anything else that is cuckoo for Cocoa. But if you
are a junkie for maximum screen real-estate with Firefox, Thunderbird,
SeaMonkey, or any other non-Cocoa application, enjoy!
